So, I did it...
I graduated!
It's been a long and challenging journey,
but it's all over now! (until I go to graduate
school in the fall for library science, that is!)
With summer vacation technically in progress
for me now, I can finally focus all my attention on
my Martha's Vineyard trip coming up in less than
three weeks! I can't believe how close it is...
and to think, I planned this all in January!
So, about my trip...
to answer some of your questions from my last post,
I will be staying at the beautiful Victorian Inn
in Edgartown from June 13th to 18th
 |
| The Victorian Inn on South Water Street |
I am so excited about this stay, not only because it was rated
the best bed and breakfast in Edgartown by Trip Adviser,
but because of it's impeccable location (views of the ocean,
and a stone's throw away from main street... wonderful)!
But the inn wasn't the only thing I planned months in advance, I
also planned the restaurants we'll be dining in at each specific night.

I'm sure many of you recall that I did the same exact thing for my
Cape Cod/Nantucket trip last year... so, as you can see,
excessive planning seems to be my forte!

Anyways, with that being said, I thought I'd show you these MV restaurants,
and give you an idea of what my stomach is in for this summer!

"This famous Colonial pub can be found at the base of The Kelley House in the heart of the village of Edgartown. Built in 1742, The Kelley House is one of the oldest buildings on Martha's Vineyard. This rich history and genuine Colonial character is most evident at The Newes with its original rough-hewn beams, ballast brick walls and warm hearth.
The menu is a unique blend of American and British pub food and features local favorites such as: Chip Shop Curry Fries, Bangers & Mash, Roquefort Stilettos and world-famous Fish & Chips."

The Seafood Shanty
"The Seafood Shanty Restaurant is located on 31 Dock Street in Edgartown, next to the Memorial Wharf. Relax and enjoy your favorite wine or cocktail while you take in the exquisite view of Edgartown Harbor from our dining room or outdoor deck."

♥3rd Night♥
Lure Grill
"Reminiscent of outdoor barbecues and summer family gatherings, Lure Grill exemplifies 'Island-Inspired, Wood-Fired' cooking over applewood and mesquite woods, which provide a sweet, subtle flavor to the food they prepare. Lure Grill works closely with local farmers, growers, and fishermen in order to provide the freshest, in-season ingredients available.
There is a complimentary, sunset water taxi available from Edgartown to Lure Grill, which is offered Monday — Saturday in-season. Ample parking is also available. The restaurant serves dinners in a casual setting, and also features a relaxing lounge and outdoor deck - complete with an Atlantic Ocean view. It is cozy enough for a romantic dinner and friendly enough for the entire family."

I'm looking most forward to this restaurant,
mainly because of their sunset water taxi!
♥4th Night♥
The Black Dog Tavern
"This island landmark—which is more popular with tourists than locals—lies just steps from the ferry terminal in Vineyard Haven. In July and August, the wait for breakfast (with an expansive omelet assortment) can be as much as an hour from 8 am on. Why? Partly because the ambiance inside—roaring fireplace, dark-wood walls, maritime memorabilia, and a grand view of the water—makes everyone feel so at home. The menu is heavy on local fish, chowders, and chops."
Menu
Okay, I admit it... I can be a little touristy!
♥5th Night♥
The Atlantic Fish & Chophouse
"The Atlantic Fish & ChopHouse... is a neighborhood restaurant devoted to offering quality food, exceptional service and a festive nightlife. Our professional and friendly staff will take great care of you as you enjoy the freshest seafood, USDA prime steaks, by Allen Brothers, since 1863, tasty appetizers, soups, salads, and an extensive wine list.
Our stunning view of Edgartown Harbor will enchant you, but the food, service and entertainment will keep you coming back for more. We look forward to welcoming you for lunch, dinner, drinks and entertainment."
